Summer vacation is always made better when traveling to an exotic, tropical locale like the Cayman Islands. However, while the islands themselves offer a wide variety of fun activities, you can enhance your trip by participating in local events.
Fortunately, South Bay Beach Club is in the heart of the action, since we’re conveniently located on Seven Mile Beach. So, when planning your summer vacation here, pay attention to festival dates so you can really maximize your itinerary.
Here are some examples of great events you can participate in.
Flowers Sea Swim
Because the waters off Seven Mile Beach are often calm and shallow, they’re ideal for swimming, regardless of your skill level. However, if you really want to test yourself, you can participate in the annual Flowers Sea Swim in June.
This event draws over 1,000 people to swim along the beach to compete for up to $10,000 if you break the existing speed record. However, even if you’re not the fastest swimmer, just finishing the race puts you in the running for many other prizes, including gadgets, free food, hotel stays, and much more.
Constitution Day
If you weren’t aware, the first Monday in July is Constitution Day, which is widely celebrated across the Cayman Islands. So, if your vacation happens to overlap, you can take advantage and help the locals commemorate their first constitution from 1959.
As a national holiday, most official businesses are closed, and many local businesses celebrate with festivities, including fireworks at night.
Cayman Islands Margarita Festival
Sitting on a white sand beach is lovely on its own, but the practice is made even better when you’re sipping on a tasty margarita. If that sounds appealing, you should plan to visit during the Cayman Islands Margarita Festival, an annual event held near the end of July.
Not only can you enjoy world-class margaritas during the festival, but you can also vote on your favorites, chow down on tasty food, and dance to live music throughout. The festival is also family-friendly, just in case you’re traveling with kids.
Local Music and Events
Even if you’re not visiting Grand Cayman during an island-wide celebration, you can still take advantage of numerous smaller events. Many bars and restaurants have live bands, tasting experiences, and much more for you to enjoy. Check out the events calendar on Explore Cayman to plan your trip accordingly.
